REPORT 



STATE B0AK1) OF EDUCATION. 



To His Excellency John Ireland, Governor of Texas: 

As required by law, the Board of Education herewith presents its report. 
showing the condition of the free schools of the State for the year 1882-3. 
Accompanying the same is submitted for the consideration of the Legisla- 
ture an able communication from Hon. B. M. Baker, Secretary of the Board. 
While members of the Board dissent from some of the recommendations 
therein, it is deemed proper to publish the same as coming from one who 
has given the subjects treated much care and thought. 

Respectfully, 

Board of Education. 



DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, j 
Austin, Texas, December 1, 1883. \ 
To the Honorable State Board of Education : 

Gentlemen — I have the honor to herewith submit the statistics of your 
report for this department for the year commencing September 1, 188-2. and 
ending August 31, 1883, to be presented to the Eighteenth Legislature, to 
convene in extra session on the second Tuesday in January next. 

Every effort has been made to obtain reports from all the counties and 
cities in the State maintaining public schools, and the preparation of these 
statistics has been delayed to the latest possible moment that they might be 
as near complete as I could make them; but reports from only one hundred 
and twenty-five counties and seventeen cities have been received. Public 
funds were apportioned to one hundred and seventy-five counties, including 
the unorganized counties of Crosby, Dickens, Edwards, Fisher, Hardeman, 
King, Knox, Wichita, and Zavalla, and to forty-five cities and towns. 

It is difficult, therefore, to arrive at any very satisfactory conclusion from 
the tables compiled. To each table I have appended a summary, showing 
the number of counties and cities reporting upon any given subject, from 



which, it is believed, the honorable Legislature can obtain all the informa- 
tion of value possible to be gotten from the records and files of this depart- 
ment. 

Errors in the present school laws, and the system itself, have occasioned 
much difficulty in the administration of the public schools. It is believed 
that the inauguration of a complete system is necessary to conform the laws 
to the amended Constitution. In preparing such a system, it is of the 
highest importance that the difficulties we labor iinder now be carefully 
guarded against. I beg leave to state some of the most important of these 
difficulties, and trust that you will deem them of sufficient importance to 
mention them in your report. 

1. County judges have not in every instance distributed all the avail- 
able State and county funds at their disposal. 

2. Many communities organize annually, and have the fund to which 
they are entitled set aside for them in the county treasuries, and then fail to 
maintain school, thereby locking up in the county treasuries many thousands 
of dollars, from which no practicable benefit is derived by any one. 

3. Teachers, as a rule, cannot be induced to make term reports to the 
county judges, and of course complete statistics cannot be sent by the 
county judges to this department. 

4. County judges, mayors, superintendents of city schools, county and 
city treasurers, in many instances fail or refuse to report to this department 
at all. 

5. The scholastic census is often badly taken. In many instances chil- 
dren of scholastic age are overlooked and children not of scholastic age are 
enrolled. 

6. The community lists have often been improperly revised. Some 
county judges have revised them by the assessor's rolls, while some have 
not revised them at all. The result has been that children of scholastic age 
overlooked by the assessors have not received the benefit of the school 
fund, and children not of scholastic age, by being put upon the community 
lists, have enjoyed a fund never intended for them. 

7. The amount of pay to which an assistant teacher is entitled is a mat- 
ter of infinite doubt. 

To conform the law to the amended Constitution, I respectfully suggest 
that the county commissioners courts, or some other competent authority, 
be required to subdivide the counties into convenient "school districts," 
and that the qualified property tax-paying voters of such districts be per- 
mitted to vote such local taxes as they deem best, not to exceed the limit 
fixed by amendment to the Constitution. Such school districts should each 
elect three school trustees, who should serve without compensation. Trus- 
tees should have the power to determine the number of schools, and to 
locate them. They should decide when the schools should be opened. They 
should employ teachers, approve teachers' vouchers and teachers' term re- 
ports. They should, subject to the rulings and under the directions of the 



— 5 — 

officer in charge of the schools of the county, supervise, manage and con- 
trol the schools, and should be allowed to appeal to this department from 
the rulings of that officer. Teachers should be required to procure from 
the county judge certificates of good moral character before applying for 
certificates of competency, and should procure from some designated au- 
thority certificates of competency before contracting with trustees. A 
course of study should be prescribed for the schools, and teachers should be 
examined upon such course, and be granted certificates of the "first," 
"second," or "third" grade, according to proficiency. 

Maximum salaries of teachers should be prescribed by law. Teachers 
should be required to conform to die orders of the trustees, but should in 
all cases be permitted to appeal to the county officer, and from him to this 
department. All appeals to this department should plainly state the point 
at issue, and be certified to by the school officer of the county. Teachers 
should be required, at the close of school, to make reports to the school 
officer of the county, and should not receive their last month's salaries until 
such reports are filed and approved. 

County treasurers should be continued as treasurers of the school fund, 
unless it should be deemed best to have the school fund disbursed directly 
from this department or the Comptroller's office. In that case, all fees paid 
to county treasurers would be saved. Such an arrangement would be at- 
tended with prompt payments to teachers, and would avoid the danger of 
drawing too heavily on the general revenue by advancements made to the 
school fund as provided for by the present law. 

The county judges might be continued as the chief officers in the coun- 
ties, but the past proves that the plan would be unsatisfactory. County 
judges as a rule dislike the duties made incumbent upon them by the school 
law. Besides they have not the time from their other duties to supervise 
schools. They can only be the agents of the State to distribute the school 
fund. I suggest that the State be divided into districts, and that superin- 
tendents be appointed or elected for them. A scholastic popiilation of two 
thousand would make a district, to supervise the schools in which would 
take all of a superintendent's time. To make such sized districts it would 
be necessary, in some cases, to put two or more counties together. In the 
districts composed of large territory, the superintendents would have a 
good deal of traveling to do, but would have no more schools to supervise 
than others would have. They should examine teachers, grant certificates, 
and visit and supervise the schools. They might be required to take the 
scholastic census. In that case, the fees paid county judges and assessors 
would be saved to go to the salaries of superintendents. They should also 
be required to approve all drafts on the county treasurers, and discharge all 
duties now incumbent on the county judges. My judgment is that the 
greatest need of our schools is supervison, and I know of no other plan that 
will secure it. 

I most respectfully recommend that a " Sixperintendent of Public In- 



— 6 — 

struction" or "Commissioner of Education," be provided for. If it is 
deemed best not to provide for the election of such officer, it would be 
vastly better than the present arrangement if the Board of Education be 
direeted by law to oppoint one. He should supervise, manage, direct and 
control the public schools of the State, and might do so itnder the super- 
vision of the Board of Education. The Governor, Comptroller and Secre- 
tary of State cannot give the necessary time from their own offices to 
manage the growing school interests of Texas. Constant, careful and 
onerous labor is required for that purpose in this department. The Secre- 
tary of the Board of Education is virtually the superintendent, but he is 
without the necessary power, and cannot exercise the necessary influence to 
make the management efficient. The name itself adds dignity to the depart- 
ment, and he who overlooks the expenditure of a million and a half dollars 
of the public money should be in law, as he is in fact, the head of the 
department. The superintendent, or commissioner, should be ex-officio 
Secretary of the Board of Education. The Board of Education must, under 
the Constitution, continue to annually apportion the school fund, but the 
management of the schools could, under the Constitution, be confided to a 
superintendent or commissioner, and would, in my judgment, be more satis- 
factory under such an officer. 

The city schools might, with propriety, be left under the present manage 
ment, except that some provision should be made to compel reports from 
them to this department. In the case of an officer required to report to this 
department, there should he fixed a penalty of some sort for a failure on 
his part to do so. 

To determine the manner in which hooks to be taught in the schools 
should be selected is full of difficulty. To leave each teacher to select the 
books for his school would keep him constantly at war witli his trustees and 
county officer, and would result in too great a variety of text-books used. 
It would be equally unsatisfactory for the county officer or trustees to select 
the books. In my judgment, the State cannot successfully prescribe the 
books, yet there should be something like a uniform series used. The 
teachers might be required to hold teachers' institutes in each county every 
year to determine what books shall be used the succeeding year in the 
county. This would get a uniform series for each county, and would result 
in almost a uniform series for the State. Whether the subject is legislated 
upon or not, there will, most likely, be some dissatisfaction. 

The Eighteenth Legislature appropriated $6000 per annum for Summer 
Normal Institutes. 

Your honorable Board fixed the salaries of the principals of these Insti- 
tutes at $150 each. 

The Institutes were taught as shown by the table referring to them. 

No Institute for colored teachers was held in the 11th congressional 
district, because there are only six or eight colored teachers in that district, 
and in some instances they resided five hundred miles apart from each 



other, and because no application for an Institute was made by the district. 
The six thousand dollars were equally divided between the forty-one princi- 
pals, and the balance of the one hundred and fifty dollars due them will be 
paid from the Peabody fund when it is received. The table referred to 
shows that a very small percentage of teachers attended these Institutes. 
I regard them as highly important to the common school interests, and con- 
fess that I am utterly surprised that tin? teachers of the State cannot be 
induced to avail themselves of the advantages the State seeks to bestow 
upon them. The Institutes did much lasting good, and would have been 
in every instance fully successful but for the failure of so many teachers to 
attend them. 

The term of the Sam Houston Normal Institute ending June 1.5th, 1883, 
was eminently successful. It is in my judgment the most valuable ally of 
the common schools. 

A great majority of the matriculates are true to their obligations, and a 
great many of its graduates have won distinction in the schools of the State. 
Much difficulty has been found in obtaining students at the Institute who 
are ready to be trained as teachers, and as a consequence a good deal of 
academical work has been done. But it is believed that this trouble is 
gradually passing away, and that the Institute will soon be able to devote 
itself altogether to professional work. The Institute has heretofore received 
$7500 per annum from the Peabody educational fund, and I had every rea- 
son to think the amount given would be the same for the present term. 
But a recent letter from I>r. J. L. M. Curry, general agent for Peabody 
fund, informs me that he will apportion to Texas this year only $6000 for 
all purposes. If all this sum is given by your honorable Board to the Insti- 
tute, the usual term of nine months cannot be maintained. I trust you will 
think it advisable to ask the Legislature for a small additional appropriation. 
In that case, I can furnish that honorable body with the precise additional 
sum needed. 

The incidental fund belonging to the Institute amounted at the close of 
the last term to $1811.20. Your honorable Board authorized the expendi- 
ture of the same for an assembly hall, to be also used for instruction in 
music and calisthenics. The contract was made by the local board of 
directors, and the hall has just been completed, and I am informed meets 
all the requirements of the Institute. 

Most respectfully, 

B. M. Bakek, 
Secretary Board of Education.
